Hill Conference Opens New Era Of Cooperation
A new era of student-faculty cooperation in the progressive education of responsible adults has been opened at the University of Kansas. At least the vision has been seen. Mortar Board-Sachem's confab was the longest step yet taken in this direction.
Thinking together as adults and playing together like younsters, men and women of the faculty, administration and student body gained a better understanding of the motives, problems and hopes in the mind of each for making this university more effective in educating students to become "responsible citizens capable of doing a more efficient job of living."
Administrative problems, they found, arise in trying to steer a course between the wants of the student body on one hand, and pressure groups, public opinion and the Board of Regents on the other. Our university has been a follower of public opinion more often than a leader, especially in incidents concerning the mores and morals of the day.
These student responsibilities to the university were recognized: participation in its program, evaluation of these programs, assumption of leadership in improving them, and encouragement of others in the student body to active participation and criticism.
Discussions of policy, traditions, student government, leadership, and progressive educational trends in other universities, aroused plans for action. Suggestions were made for more efficient operation of the All-Student Council, a leadership camp, a point system, originally of traditions, pre-enrollment and pre-registration, and an honor system. An entire report will be published later.
If you are concerned about your present and your future and that of your university, give the proposals of this conference serious consideration. Their ultimate value depends on you!

Rock Chalk Talk
Vot Next—After Katherine Kufahr's senior recital last week, her sisters gave a reception at the Chi O abode. Enjoying the evening was Jan Chiapusso, Kathy's teacher. Good byes said, Professor Chiapusso went into the mail room in the hall to pull on his "gooledhes."
Just as said professor leaned over, Ed Shive, who had been talking to Jean Cody on the house phone, bounded out of the phone booth across the hall. Since the hall is quite narrow, Ed hit Mr. C. in—anyway, he went sprawling into the mail room. Pulling his head out of a mail box, Professor Chiapusso said flatly, "My word, they even keep sailors in the closets!"

Theta-ma-jig, Ette Bennett played hostess to the Theta chapter in Ottawa this weekend. Sun-bathing was the order of the day Saturday and Sunday as is obvious from the "well-done" pinkish tinge worn by all Lila Doughman, Katie Burchfield, and Lee Thompson, spent their time thinking up and carrying out practical jokes. Loly O'Leary, however, wonders what's so practical about having cigarettes blowing up in her face. She is still brushing tobacco from her hair. Little did she suspect as she lit that "free" fag that half of it would shoot cannon-like to the opposite side of the room!

Spring has sprung thought Jim Conard, so why not wear a spring suit to the Pi Phi formal? He did, but the double breasted coat hit him at the waist, and his trousers (no, they weren't rolled) sneaked up to the knee region. Jim was a little hand-i-capped all evening, he had to keep his hands in his pockets to make the coat look longer.

Blow, blow, blow the gal down. It would be a blow to lose a new ASC member and a good Shack Rat, but if this wind keeps howling, Mary Margaret Gaynor will blow right off the hill. Yesterday the wind blew her into a bush. This was a mere beginning. As she walked by the Union a lusty gust struck, and over she went, skinning both knees, one

arm, and smashing her watch.
Roll Call—At the student-faculty get-together Saturday, each person gave name, grade, and school. When it came to Chancellor Malott, he answered, "Deane W. Malott, chore boy." This was topped by Professor Waters. He stood up and exclaimed, "Froud father!"
